ATLETICO MADRID manager Diego Simeone has cooled suggestions his two main strikers are about to leave for the Premier League.

Mario Mandzukic and Antoine Griezmann have both been linked with switches to England's top flight in recent weeks.

Chelsea are thought to be keen on Griezmann as they seek to replace Frenchman Loic Remy, who is reportedly unwilling to accept being third choice next season.

Meanwhile, it is understood that Arsenal may make a move for Mandzukic if they miss out on Porto's Jackson Martinez, while Manchester United and Juventus are also trailing the former Bayern Munich player.

But, speaking of his plans for the upcoming season, Simeone insisted he does not want to sell his star men, which will likely frustrate transfer plans of the Premier League trio.

Antoine Griezmann scored 22 Liga goals for Atletico last season

“You've asked me about Mandzukic again and I repeat that he held our attack together when Griezmann started the season badly," Simeone told reporters.

"We are happy with Mandzukic, together with Griezmann they form a good attacking duo.”

Atletico finished third in the Spanish Liga last season after winning the title in 2013.

Griezmann scored 22 goals during the league campaign, with Mandzukic adding a further 12.
